TrustedID Review: What Services Are Offered to Protect Your Identity?

By Philip Richards
Trusted ID offers a number of products and services to help their customers protect themselves against identity theft. They specialize in monitoring a person's credit, while at the same time taking additional steps to protect their identity.

The first service they offer is ID Essentials, which includes basic credit monitoring, access to your credit report, and even a score that gives you an idea of a possible identity threat. The ID essentials also offers extra services such as monitoring a customer's medical benefits or informing you of internet scams and dangerous websites to avoid. The plan is backed by a million dollar warranty plan, and customer service is available by phone if you ever need any help or have any questions. The ID Essentials Family and Individual plans are offered through a 2 week trial membership, with rates ranging from $125.00 to $240.00 a year charged after the first 2 weeks.

Another service offered by TrustedID.com is called Credit Lock. This service adds extra protection to your ID Essentials plan. This service simply blocks your credit report from being released to anyone without your permission first. They use all 3 reporting agencies-Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. You can control your credit lock by speaking with a customer service representative from TrustedID.com, releasing credit reports to third parties upon request. Adding this service to your TrustedID.com account costs the same as the ID Essentials service, and comes in discounted family or individual plans with 2 week trial memberships available.

TrustedID.com also offers "data breach services" to protect employees at different companies or organizations from identity theft. Recently, there has been a huge increase in the number of identity theft victims that have lost millions of dollars when there is a data breach within the company. Using a service called ID Safe, TrustedID.com insures that theft during a breach will be minimal, greatly reducing the devastating costs that occur during a breach.
